The Nature of Power
By Anu Singh The nature of power is a much-misunderstood subject. One reason for misunderstanding is that there are two kinds of power-political and spiritual. Religious mythology takes pains to draw the distinction between the two. Prior to the birth of Buddha, for instance the soothsayers informed his father that Buddha would grow up to become the most powerful king in the land or else a poor man who would be the greatest spiritual leader the world had ever known. Either or, but not both. And Christ was offered by Satan all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them. But he rejected this alternative in favor of dying, seemingly important, upon the cross. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one. There is a joy that comes with mastery. Indeed, there is no greater satisfaction than that of being an expert, of really knowing what we are doing. Those who have grown the most spiritually are those who are the experts in living. It is the joy of communion with God. For when we truly know what we are doing, we are participating in the omniscience of God. With total awareness of the nature of a situation, of our motives for acting upon it, and of the results and ramifications of our action, we have attained that level of awareness that we normally expect only of God. Our conscious self has succeeded in coming into alignment with mind of God. We know with God. Yet those who have attained this stage of spiritual growth, this stage of great awareness, are invariably possessed by joyful humility.
